DermTox Long Island, NY
You protect it from the sun. You eat a healthy diet. You stay hydrated. You keep stress in check.
You refuse to sleep with makeup on. You use high-quality skincare products and never skip a day of your routine. While these daily habits do have an impact on your skin’s complexion and texture, they can’t match the deep action and dramatic benefits of a professional treatment. Marotta Plastic Surgery Specialists offers a variety of noninvasive and minimally-invasive skin rejuvenation procedures that pick up where your home routine leaves off. Our latest is DermTox, an advanced microchanneling treatment that restores health and beauty from within. By combining the revitalizing benefits of microneedling with the infusion of scientifically-advanced ingredients, DermTox can hydrate your skin, reduce pore size, treat acne and smooth fine lines. The result is a fresh and glowing appearance in as little as 30 minutes.
Microneedling is a minimally-invasive treatment that works by piercing the skin with tiny, evenly spaced needles.
This process triggers the body’s natural wound healing response, stimulating collagen and elastin production to renew the skin from the inside out.
The treatment can improve a range of concerns – including wrinkles, scars, enlarged pores, skin laxity and uneven texture – and help topical products penetrate more deeply into the skin.
DermTox takes traditional microneedling to the next level. DermTox treatments are performed using AquaGold Fine Touch – a first-of-its-kind, patented microchanneling system that delivers a customized blend of beneficial ingredients below the surface of the skin. The device contains 20 hollow needles that are smaller than a strand of hair and coated in 24 karat gold. This minimizes pain during treatment while reducing the chance of irritation or allergic reaction. An attached vial contains a personalized formula of nourishing and anti-aging agents that flow through the hollow needles into the superficial layer of the skin to maximize the effects of the treatment.
Like traditional microneedling, DermTox creates micro-wounds in the skin to boost collagen and elastin production. Unlike microneedling, the DermTox procedure also injects a cocktail of skin-enhancing ingredients into the skin where they can have the most potent effect. Additional benefits of DermTox include:
Your DermTox treatment can be formulated to:
Our three DermTox blends contain some of skin care’s most powerful ingredients:
DermTox infuses Botox into the skin at a shallow depth to shrink enlarged pores and minimize very fine lines. This differs from traditional Botox treatment, in which Botox is injected into muscles to temporarily inhibit their movement and relax wrinkles.
DermTox HA includes hyaluronic acid, an ingredient used in many dermal fillers, to soften fine lines and plump the skin. Hyaluronic acid also brings deep hydration to the treated areas, enhancing the skin’s firmness and elasticity.
DermTox HA PRP adds platelet-rich plasma (PRP) to the formula to expedite the body’s repair process. PRP releases growth factors into the skin for additional collagen and elastin stimulation and enhanced cellular renewal.
Your DermTox treatment will begin with a consultation. During your consultation for DermTox Long Island plastic surgeon, Dr. Marotta will discuss your treatment goals and examine your skin to determine which DermTox cocktail will deliver the greatest benefits.
Your customized blend of products will be placed in the vial and the needles will be attached. When the device is prepared, Dr. Marotta will press it over the surface of your skin in a stamping motion, causing the needles to enter and exit your skin and leave the products behind. Most patients feel only minor discomfort during the procedure.
Long Island DermTox patients require little to no downtime following treatment.
You may leave the office with a pink glow to your skin, but you are not restricted from returning to work or engaging in any activities. The pinkness typically dissipates quickly after treatment, leaving behind a refreshed, radiant and dewy complexion. We recommend avoiding makeup and harsh skincare products in the treated area for 24 hours. Sun protection is also strongly encouraged.
Age, sun damage, gravity and lifestyle factors wreak havoc on your skin, leaving you with rough, uneven texture and a less-than-radiant complexion.
At Marotta Plastic Surgery Specialists, DermTox is one of the newest ways we are addressing these changes and providing our patients with beautiful results. To experience this treatment for yourself, or learn about one of our other nonsurgical skin rejuvenation treatments, call our office today at (631) 982-2022 to schedule a consultation.
DermTox offers rapid results as well as ongoing benefits. Many Long Island DermTox patients notice softer, smoother skin and a healthy glow shortly after their treatment. Within a week, the effects of the Botox and hyaluronic acid will reach their full strength, making fine lines and large pores less pronounced. Your results will continue to improve over the following weeks as the increased levels of collagen and elastin in your skin work to restore healthy tissue at a deeper level.
A single DermTox treatment can give your skin an invigorating boost before a big event. However, to transform your skin on a deep and long-lasting level, we recommend undergoing a series of DermTox treatments. Sessions can be scheduled approximately every four to six weeks until you’ve achieved your desired result. After that, doing several maintenance treatments throughout the year will continue to improve the overall health and appearance of your skin.
The AquaGold Fine Touch system is safe for most patients. The most common side effect associated with DermTox treatment is mild redness that subsides within a few hours. Skin irritation or allergic reaction is rare due to the gold plating on the needles. Each AquaGold Fine Touch is single-use and comes in a sterilized package to further ensure the safety of the procedure.
Most men and women interested in rejuvenating their skin without surgery are potential candidates for DermTox. We do not recommend this treatment if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, if you have an active skin infection in the treatment area, if your immune system is compromised, or if you are looking to improve deep wrinkles or significant acne scarring. Patients seeking a subtly youthful appearance rather than dramatic changes will have the best experience with DermTox.
When you schedule your consultation with Marotta Plastic Surgery Specialists, you can feel secure that the decision you are making is the right one for you.
